Deep cherry, apricot, & plum with a very dry finish, great value at $12! I want more.

This is so bomb... And even more bomb because I picked it up for $6.75. Just a crianza but Conde Valdemar goes above and beyond with everything so I'd imagine this sees a year of oak and further bottle aging before release. It's an โ€™08 but I'd say it's still got another 5-10 years on it.
Delicious ripe strawberry, raisin, prune, dried red flower, dried blueberry, decomposing leaves, organic matter, irony minerality. Lots of dried fruit but the wine is so fresh and vibrant at the same time. Great acid backbone, mod tannin. Loving this.

Too acidic for my taste but at $12 price point, it was good. Medium body.

I bought this wine to cook with. The Caputi clerk said it originally sold for $20 / bottle. I bought it for 5.99. Made braised short ribs with if for us the Morans and Lana and Girard. Delicious.
